Angela Correa had her cd release for "Correatown" last Thursday and I can't say I've seen her sound any better than on this night. The girl has just got one of the sweetest croons this side of Patsy Cline and when she teams up with Tommy Brosseau it's Les Paul and Mary Ford all over again. She was also joined by Joanie Mendenhall who added just the right amount of Rhodes and harmony vocal. All in all, a lovely night of music for those able to squeeze into Tangier (The Chapin Sisters, Angie Hart, among others)...
A few days later, we decided to brave the squeeze of eastside traffic and head out to Claremont College to see a rare westside performance by Virginia native Paul Curreri. Those Curreri Bros. sure have some serious folk blues running through their veins with the older brother Paul perhaps being the more sophisticated and complex of the two (as sophisticated as a Curreri can get). Really great show. Really great audience... kids really like the hash at Pitzer. Some things never change.
